Someone just asked me ," Has the greatest moment in your life arrived?" I failed to answer the question and just smiled. What would I say? There are so many moments in my life which are so special and close to my heart.  Is it the moment when I saw my tears of joy in my mother's eye when I was awarded a rank? Is it the moment when my dad whispered," I am proud of you" when I got a job. Is it the moment when my relatives envied my success?
